Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Currently, I only have 64 bit packages up; but I plan to have 32 bit ones up soon.

Please refrain from using _SBo tag for publicly hosted packages. See SlackBuids.org FAQ:

Quote:

So what if I want to use your SlackBuild scripts to provide a public repository of precompiled packages?

If you do make such a repository available to the public, we request that you change the "SBo" tag in your packages to something else.
We do not want to be associated with 3rd-party package repositories. All we will vouch for are the SlackBuild scripts, which we have tested and approved (which is why we always make the GPG ".asc" file available that allows you to check that you are actually using our unmodified SlackBuild script).
There is no way we can or will guarantee that a 3rd-party package containing the "SBo" tag was created using an unmodified SlackBuilds.org script.

Yes, I use alienbob package. And yes, I will be stripping it back off my systems. If I need more than 4GB of ram to watch a Youtube video or load a kids website, I have no use for it. I have seen paint dry faster..........................
